During China's traditional Chinese New Year festival (the first day of the Chinese New Year), the World Preliminary Round of 12 in Asia will be fully launched in the eighth round of competition. At 18:10, Japan will continue to meet Saudi Arabia at Saitama Stadium, China will challenge Vietnam away at 20:00, and Oman and Australia will play key matches at 0:00, these three games are of far-reaching significance for the national football team to continue to retain the promotion to the World Cup.
At present, the best situation in the qualifying situation is undoubtedly Saudi Arabia, which has scored 19 points, but from the perspective of the schedule, Saudi Arabia is precisely the most likely to be out of the group. This may make fans feel difficult to understand, then first look at the situation of Group B, Saudi Arabia ranked first with 19 points, Japan ranked second with 15 points, Australia ranked third with 14 points, and the Qualifying Quota for the World Cup would basically be generated from these three teams (unless Li Xiaopeng could lead the national football team to play a miracle and score 9 points in 3 rounds), but Saudi Arabia's opponents in the last three rounds were the strongest, the eighth round of Japan, the ninth round of China, the last round of the showdown with Australia.
The first match against Japan was enough for the Saudi team to drink a pot, and Japan is currently in excellent form, winning four consecutive games in the round of 12 and conceding only 1 goal. This time they returned home with the help of tens of thousands of live fans, which will undoubtedly be very uncomfortable for Saudi Arabia, who is home to the dragon and away from home. Previously, at the home of the Japanese team, Saudi Arabia lost 1-2, it was the 2018 World Cup qualifier, the Japanese team won with the goal of Kiyotake Hiroshi and Haraguchi Genki in the game, when Japan got 56% of the possession, the number of shots was as high as 15 feet, of which 6 shots were on target, which had a huge advantage.
In the ninth round, Saudi Arabia will challenge China. Although the national football team is likely to be out of the game and miss the World Cup, considering that this game China will be the first time to fight at home in the round of 12, so in the face of the majority of fans, the national football players are also eager to comfort the disappointed fans with a victory at the doorstep, so that the national audience can once again see the true level of the national football team, so Li Xiaopeng will never be tied up. It should be known that the chinese team's combat effectiveness at home has always been quite strong, and it has defeated strong teams such as South Korea and Iraq in the World Preliminary Round, and there is also a miracle of a 0-0 draw with Iran, so it is not a problem to defeat Saudi Arabia.
In the last round, Saudi Arabia will face the matching rival Australia, in the history of the two teams have met 6 times, Australia 4 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss occupy an absolute advantage, including many 4-2, 3-1 big scores to defeat the opponent's good play, so Saudi Arabia is also more fierce. It can be expected that the last three rounds of the Saudi team will definitely appear Waterloo, the so-called prosperity will decline, Saudi Arabia has been able to occupy the top of the list for a long time, itself is not in line with their real strength, and now it is time to abdicate, the last three Saudi Arabia can get 1 point is already thankful (level China, lose Japan, lose Australia), so that Saudi Arabia's points will only reach 20 points at most.
On the other hand, japan, the last three rounds of saudi arabia, Australia and Vietnam, with Saudi Arabia and Vietnam, at least can get 4 points, and Australia, considering the strength of the two teams is close, the first leg of Japan also won 2-1, so the probability of Japan being unbeaten is greater, so that Japan is expected to take 5 points in the last three rounds, and the points will come to 20 points. Australia's last three rounds of the schedule are the easiest, with Oman and Saudi Arabia can get 6 points, even if they lose to Japan, so Australia's final points will reach 20 points. In the case of the same score of the three teams, it is necessary to compete for the number of goals difference, the current Saudi net win of 7 goals, Japan net win of 4 goals, Australia net win of 9 goals, so the Saudi team is still not very stable, after all, Japan can score more goals in the game with the Vietnamese team, but Saudi Arabia has no fish belly to abuse the dish.
